Better keep your speed down as you head for Sioux Falls on Highway 34: the City of Colman is still looking for easy cash. An eager reader points me toward
this article from the Moody County Enterprise (as a Star trek fan, I really shold read that paper more often) that notes the defeat of a city tax opt-out earlier this month. The city asked for $40,000 to balance the budget. Remember, Colman
lost a $21,000 annual revenue source last year when its new city cop decided to issue only legal speeding tickets on Highway 34. Evidently,
charging for paper and labor on copies of city documents didn't fill the coffers. Maybe Colman just needs to set up a toll booth during
Looney Days....
Colman's loss is our gain as their former ethical policeman is now a deputy sheriff in Lake County.
